Adjustable Wooden Carpenter's Square MODECO MN-83-120 380×400 mm

Adjustable Wooden Carpenter's Square MODECO MN-83-120 380×400 mm is a woodworking measuring and marking tool made for setting and checking angles, marking lines and verifying squareness on timber and panels. It features two wooden blades joined with an adjustable metal joint that allows locking of arbitrary angles and precise positioning. The tool is suitable for carpentry, joinery and furniture making where a combination of a traditional wooden rule and an adjustable angle joint is required.

Advantages

The wooden construction ensures a warm, low-stretch feel and reduced risk of surface scratching compared with bare metal rules. The adjustable joint provides stable angle setting and secure locking for repeated transfers. Lightweight blades with clear edges make marking with pencil or knife straightforward while maintaining good rigidity for consistent measurements. The simple mechanical design requires no calibration and is easy to maintain.

How to use

Place one blade against the workpiece edge and open or close the joint until the desired angle is reached. Tighten the joint locking screw to secure the set angle for transfer or repeated marking. Use the straight edge of a blade as a guide for a pencil or marking knife to scribe lines. For checking squareness, align one blade with a reference edge and verify that the second blade runs flush against the mating surface. Store the tool flat and keep the joint free of heavy dirt to maintain smooth adjustment.

Usage recommendations

For reliable results, ensure blades are clean and free of heavy finishes that could affect edge contact; use a sharp pencil or knife for precise marking. Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture to prevent wood swelling and check the joint periodically for tightness. When working on finished surfaces, place a scrap block between the blade and the surface to avoid marring.
